My first exam of the semester is early this morning. I have a total of 8 exams this semester.
I've been studying for this exam a lot, especially this past week. On top of studying, I had two homeworks due this week, one that was 20 pages of mathematical proofs, derivations and calculations.
Though this semester is by far my most difficult semester academically, I feel so blessed to be able to study and do well in my classes. This semester is lightyears better than last semester.
Sometimes you have to stop and be grateful for the small things in life.
For me, the ability to concentrate enough to study is something I am blessed with this semester. I can sit down and study for a few hours straight, something I could not do last semester.
After last semester, I realize how truly blessed I am this semester and that things are going so well.
Someone asked on a Facebook group last night "what would you tell someone about having a mental illness?"
I replied and said that living with mental illness is not easy but with the proper therapy, treatment and medications, we can live fulfilling lives. I hope that when people see me, they do not see my mental illness but rather how far I have come in the past year.
